機能May act in negative regulation of cell growth and transformation by interacting with nonreceptor tyrosine kinases ABL1 and/or ABL2. May play a role in regulation of EGF-induced Erk pathway activation. Involved in cytoskeletal reorganization and EGFR signaling. Together with EPS8 participates in transduction of signals from Ras to Rac. In vitro, a trimeric complex of ABI1, EPS8 and SOS1 exhibits Rac specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity and ABI1 seems to act as an adapter in the complex. Regulates ABL1/c-Abl-mediated phosphorylation of ENAH. Recruits WASF1 to lamellipodia and there seems to regulate WASF1 protein level.

組織特異性Widely expressed, with highest expression in brain.

関連疾患Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ABI1 is a cause of acute leukemias. Translocation t(10;11)(p11.2;q23) with MLL. ABI1 isoform 2 was found to be present in acute leukemia MLL-ABI1 fusion transcript.
